About the Journal

Conscious Farewell: My Lasting Wishes Diary

A guided journal and workbook designed to help you organise important information, record your wishes, preserve your story, and create peace of mind for those you love.

Life is full of important conversations that often get postponed. We tell ourselves there will be time later to share our wishes, explain our preferences, or pass on the stories and memories that matter most. Unfortunately, life does not always give us that opportunity.

The Conscious Farewell: My Lasting Wishes Diary has been thoughtfully created to help you document what is important to you while providing practical guidance for your loved ones should they ever need it.

This beautifully designed 70-page journal is more than a planner—it is a personal legacy workbook that combines future planning, life reflection, and meaningful communication in one place.

Whether you are a young adult beginning to organise your affairs, a parent wanting to leave clear guidance for your family, someone living alone, caring for ageing relatives, planning for retirement, or simply wanting to ensure your wishes are known, this journal provides a structured and compassionate way to do so.

An Important Note

The Conscious Farewell: My Lasting Wishes Diary is a personal planning and reflection tool. It is not a legal Will and does not replace a legally valid Will, Lasting Power of Attorney, Advance Decision, estate planning document, or professional legal advice.

Instead, it serves as a valuable companion document that helps ensure your wishes, values, preferences, and important information are recorded and shared with those who matter most.

A Gift for Yourself and Those You Love

Completing this journal is an act of care.

It is a way of saying:

"These are my wishes. These are my values. This is my story. And I want the people I love to have clarity, guidance, and comfort when they need it most."
